Backdoor Slider 8,291 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Gregory Soto could be the guy for the Tigers. Two blow ups has his era at 3.77, but no runs in his other 8 outings. His FIP and xFIP are under 3.77, and has a 11.93 K/9 and 2.51 BB/9. High Ks, low walks. A lot of things you like to see in a closer. Is it worth speculating on the Tigers closer? That’s up for debate. But I think Soto could get the next opportunity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t have a dog (Tiger?) in the fight but why wouldn’t it be Cisnero next? I don’t see how it wouldn’t be unless they’re trying to increase other RP’s trade value. I could easily see him not be available tonight because of usage Edit: I know he pitched but was thinking they don’t want him to finish the game do to over use but knowing he’s the best RP to get them out of the jam tonight.

It could be. But Soto has come out of nowhere and is 25. Cisnero is like 31? I’d assume they’d like to see if they have a closer in Soto. EDIT: FWIW Fangraphs and Closer Monkey have Jimenez/Farmer/Soto as the depth chart. Edited August 27, 2020 by Backdoor Slider 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
aapox 896 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Rosenthal just came into a 3-2 game (winning) with the bases loaded and 1 out vs. Cardinals and struck out Carlson and Wong to get out of it. Studly. He'll prob blow the 9th though 😝 1 Link to post Share on other sites

KingJoffrey 905 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I think Brach may be next in line for the Mets. Who else is there? Lugo is a starter now and Diaz may be hurt. Link to post Share on other sites

Ugly finish to his night but I'd think it won't be held against him too much as they were stretching him for longer than one inning and I'm not sure there's enough fuel in that tank.

Lugo is a starter now and Diaz may be hurt. Chasen Shreve has pitched well lately and has a more strikeout friendly history but is a lefty. Jared Hughes could get a look. Familia always likes to jump into these situations just to be annoying. Brach looks to be the guy for now. However, I speculate it would be Betances if he's healthy and available. Maybe he's got a little Raisel Iglesius in him where he feeds off the high leverage situation and pitches better (i personally doubt this is the case). No matter who it is, I'm personally staying away because I like my ratios in the single digits. Edited August 27, 2020 by Wytchclt55 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JameisofThrones 218 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Sounds like leg cramps for Diaz. Shouldn't miss much if any time. So if he's the closer, he's probably still the closer. But who knows. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Just another committee: Quote Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said after Wednesday's game against the Cubs that Joe Jimenez will no longer be used as the team's closer. Gardy confirmed what was obvious after he used Jimenez in top of the sixth inning with the team trailing 2-1 at the time. Jimenez served up a home run to Kyle Schwarber to push his ERA to 12.10 but then picked up the win after the Tigers plated five in the bottom of the frame. Jose Cisnero, Gregory Soto and Buck Farmer were the final three relievers used Wednesday and Gardenhire said he'll mix and match with that trio to close out games.

Gregory Soto now has 9.3 scoreless innings with a 36% K rate and 3% BB rate in 31 batters faced. He has a 97.7 mph heater and 88 mph slider from the left side. It's veeery early, but the 25-year old looks dominant!" However, recently (18th and 19th of this month) he had two pretty bad outings. Link to post Share on other sites
